MOKE BUSINESS BUf LESS FRONTS
rSrECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DtSPATCIt.
Hew York, Jan. 29. Special telegrams to
Uraektrcet's record one striking change in
the general trade situation as compared
with a neek ago a distintclj better de
mand lor spring drygoods at the West. It
is added that preparations are making to
distribute larger stocks of hardware, boots
and shoes and groceries at the AVest than in
1891, and Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Milwaukee, Omaha, St. Louis, Memphis,
St. Joseph and Kansas City announce vary
ing ieaturcs looking to such a movement.
Business failures in the Cnhetl States
this week cumber 2i9, against 405 last
week, and for January to date, 1,357, which
is less than in like portions of lour pre
ceding years.
Bank clearances at 62 cities for six busi
ness days ended January 28, as wired to
Eraditrcct'x. aggregate S1,20S,579,000, or G.S
per cent less than in the precedin; week.
San Francisco, Xew Orleans and Bufialo
I" are the larger cities showing decreases.
v Ltrjsoods tho Only Stronc Feature.
Boston reports a better feeling, which an
improved demand for drygoods must ac
count for. as conoer is lower aud wool is
uulL Philadelphia's favorable report is
confined to an improved outlook lor dry
goods, though some woolen machinery is
now running full time. Sew York dry
goods jobbers report less favorably thus far
as to sj.nng.demand. In other staple lines
at these three cities trade continues to show
an unexpected prolonged sluggishness, and
the conclusion is forced, despite isrious
optimistic outgivings that general trade
lor January is a disappointment, and that
the anticipated revival' in demand due to
the prosperity or irrain farmers, railroads
and other lines in lb'Jl has not arrived thus
Jar in lb'J2.
On the Pacific coavt business is very
quiet. Leading Southern cities, Galveston,
Xcw Orleans ana havannah, announce no
general improvement in business aud an in
disposition on the part of the cotton ficiors
to loan money to planters lreclytill more
is known concerning the situation as to
cotton.
The Chilean settlement has resulted in
the reassertion of bullish influences in the
stock market, the covering of short con
tracts bv the prolessional traders, combined
with eiforts of some of the large interests
which are acting on the bull side, resulting
I in a sharp advauce of prices.
I Only contbern Stocks Are "Tealc
s The improvement has .been general,
l though Southern stocks, it is noted, are the
object of some bearish sentiment based on
t the unfavorable view taken of conditions in
that section.
Money at Xew York is in plethoric sup
ply, and investing corporations show an in
creasing disposition to place their surplus
funds in the security market. Siher has
declined on excessive supply and limited
demand, the quotations touched this week
being only a traction above the lowest on
record. The exchange market continues
firm on an unexpectedly large demand,
though rates at the close ol the week show
' a disposition to decline.
Woipmentof Corn.
' Exports of Indian corn within six preced
ing days, as reported, have aggregated more
bushels ihan wheat, and flour as wheat, sent
abroad from coasts during the same period,
or 3,b33,000 bushels. Ot this one-halt has
been reported as having been sent from
Philadelphia. Last week the total quan
tity of corn exported was 2,85ti,000 bushels,
" apd in the week before oSlw) bushels. .
.xpor;s of -w-Iipst, including flour as vflieat
norn coasts, as reported to Jjractstrccls,
amount to 5,557,000 bushels this week.
Last week the total was 4,522,000, aud the
week before it was about 4,300,000 bushels.
All Sorts of Merchandise.
Leather and hides are a little stronger.
Pig iron and steel rails are as quiet as for
weeks past. Anthracite coal is marked up
25c per ton in the face of beins Quite dull.
Petroleum is barelv steady. Live cattle are
10c higher at Western markets, and an
oversupply ol hogs depresses prices there
Jer about oc per cwt.
The price of wheat has fluctuated with
war talk, and the strength of the demand
for export, is gaining "'c on the week.
Cotton is 3-lCc lower on larger movement
than last week and better foreign advices.
Ohio and Pennsylvania wools are movin"
slowly at shcht declines. American and
European purchases at the London wool
Eales, which opened Tuesday, are expected
to be heavier than last year, which points
to firm prices.
The improvement in the demand for
drygoods is due, in some instances, to the
cbanrre in the Weather. Tim "Woet ),ic lum
a large buyer at Boston. Orders for prints'
u niiia.ui3 jiiu saiu iu oe in excess ot thfs
supply. Print cloths are ery firm, orders

having been declined.
It. G. Don Reports Disappointment.?
B, G. Dun & Co.s weekly review of tfrade
says: 1
It is undeniable that there exists A con
siderable feeling ot disappointment Jlore
business but at lower pr.ces seems tf be the
rule. That the volume of trade is gradually
inci easing, even in branches whifch have
been dull and theie s-eems to be no doubt;
but in an unusual number of casesincreased
sales appear to be the jesultof somc yield-'
mg in puces, so that the nverasre decline in
prices of all commodities during the past
week has been tnoio than half o?f 1 per cent.
There is more business tloniy in non.but
increase in tho weekly ouipuy since the un
precedented report or Decjinbcr 1, has
weakened the price. Bar irfon is dull at
PiiiladelDhla and weak at Ctf icago, and the
maiket tor plates is demorilized by large
production, while some .stiiictuml mills am
snort oi worK.
Copper is lower at 1Q.S(J, with moderate
exports and a creatontpui Tin is'Joiower

unsettled.

CANADA'S PAELIAIIENT UNCHANGED.
Conservatives Currjr Ttro Out of Three or
the Bye Elections.
Ottawa, Jan. 2a SpcclaL Three of
the bye elections for seats In the Dominion
Parliament were held to-day, tno being
carried by Government candidates and one
constituency by a liberal. This leaves the
representation of these constituencies the
same politically as they were at the last ses
cion. Kingston, which was rendered vacant
by the death of Sir John Macdonald, re
turned Metcalfe, Conservative, the Govern
ments maiority having been reduced trom
483 to 97. Halton returned Henderson,
Conservative. Lincoln returns Gibson,
Liberal.
There have been seven elections held this
month to fill vacancies in Parliament, and
with the exception of the seat the Liberals
captured in Eichelieu, the representation of
the several constituencies remains as it did
when the House was prorogued in Septem
ber last.
CANADA'S IE0N INDTSTBIES
To Bo Protected by the Government, Says
Premier Abbott.
i Ottawa, Oxt., Jan. 29. SptcidL
John Torrance and Andrew A. Allen, rep
resenting the Dominion and Allan Steam
ship Companies, had an interview yester
day with Premier Abbott. They represented
that in view of the increase of iron manu
facture, iron had been greatly diminished,
and steamships owners suffered from the
consequent insufficiency of the heavier
grades of freights which were desirable in
making up good sea-going freights on the
other side.
They urged that the duties upon this
commodity be reduced, in order to induce a
reviv&l of theinrpprlation of manufactured
iron. The delegates represented that these
duties were excessive, amoontinr; to over 60
M.. S Z rSe
reply, intimated that Canada would
con
tinue to protect her iron industries.

ville,'aii .married to Josiah E. Jemi
son, I of this city, by Eev. Dr. Gor
marV, who made a most peculiar mis
taWe. He got the name of the groom
ab'd the groom's father mixed up and used
the father's name all through the ceremony,
'juie bride and groom noticed the mistake,
but thought it would be corrected when the
marriage certificate was made out
They were disagreeably surprised to see
the father's name still in place of that of
the groom, and the notices in the papers
reading Thomas instead of Josiah. According
to the certificate, Miss Cornew married the
bridegroom's father, became her husband's
stepmother and her own mother-in-law.
